I could see why you'd say that. Dash was a crazy good bassist and was a huge part of what made A Natural Death such a tight and technical record. But Horse still managed to make an even better record with his absence. They never have been very attached to their rhythm sections.

i thought it'd be pretty obvious i was talking about the humor, they're essentially on the same level of maturity

EDIT: i was also referring to this, which was literally in the next god damn sentence

While they do sound interesting for awhile, ultimately their sound loses the effect it had on you during the first few listens, and they fade away into the endless list of "Bands that were cool at one point but I can't remember why anymore".
